file-roller_zipwrongalert.patch

When extracting a password-protected ZIP archive, and providing the wrong password, file-roller doesn't show any warning (whereas "unzip", which it uses for the extraction task, does in the same case).

This may mislead the user, who has to find out why the extracted folders are empty.

Please consider the attached patch, which fixes this behavior.

there is no need to create a new error type, just use FR_ERROR_ASK_PASSWORD and file-roller will ask the user to enter a new password.

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
